Task 1:Now, read the text carefully. What do you think about the place described below?

TANjUNg PUTiNg NATiONAl PArk One of the internationally famous ecotourism destinations

in Indonesia is Tanjung Puting National Park in the southwest of Central Kalimantan peninsula. Tanjung Puting National Park offers

impressive experience to its visitors. This is called a park, but unlike any park that you have seen in your city, this is a jungle! It is a real jungle, which is home to the most incredible animals in the world: orang utans and proboscis monkeys! The male proboscis monkeys are interesting because they have enormous snout. So, imagine yourself to be in the jungle and meet these special animals in their original habitat. What will you do when you meet them?

To see orang utans we should go to Camp Leakey. Camp Leaky is located in the heart of Tanjung Puting National Park. This is a rehabilitation place for ex-captive orang utans and also a preservation site. This camp was established by Birute Galdikas, an important scientist who has studied

orang utans since 1971. To reach the place, we should take a boat down Sekonyer river.

The boat is popularly called perahu klotok which is a boathouse that can accommodate four people. The trip by the boat to Camp Leaky takes three days and two nights.

The traveling in the boat offers another unforgettable experience. You sleep, cook, and eat in that klotok, night and day during your journey into the jungle. In daylight, on your way to Camp Leaky, you can see trees filled with proboscis monkeys. At night, you can enjoy the clear sky and the amazingly bright stars as the only lights for the night.

Nouns and Adjectives

As you know, noun is a thing, a place, or a person, an animal, while adjective is a word that describes a noun. An adjective that describes a noun is called a modifier. A noun that goes with a modifier is called a noun phrase. Observe where the position of the modifier is.



For example:

adjectives nouns noun phrases

beautiful bird beautiful birdunique monkey unique monkey

enormous nose enormous nosepristine jungle pristine jungle

Task 1:Study the following sentences. Identify the noun phrase by circling the adjectives and underlining the noun. Draw an arrow to show how the adjectives modify the nouns. Number 1 is done for you as an example.

1. Mount Bromo has amazing scenery. 2. Tanjung Puting National Park offers an impressive experience. 3. Birute Galdikas is an important scientist. 4. The traveling in the boat offers another unforgettable experience.5. At night, you can enjoy the clear sky and the bright stars. 6. Local people call proboscis monkeys Bekantan. 7. Fruits are orang utans’ favorite food. 8. Keeping orang utans as our pet is an illegal act. 9. In the rehabilitation site, ex-captive orang utans learn to live a

natural life. 10. In a real jungle, we can see many incredible animals.11. Imagine yourself to be in the jungle and meet these special

animals in their original habitat.12. The gigantic trees in the forest indicate that the forest is well

preserved.

Task 2:Make noun phrases. The words on the left columns are adjectives and the words on the right column are nouns. Combine them to make noun phrases. See number 1 as an example.

Task 3:

From the previous task, you have reviewed noun phrases made by combining adjectives and nouns, such as pristine jungle, beautiful garden, etc. Those kinds of adjectives are called opinion adjectives because the adjectives tell about our opinion about something. If we want to give more information, we can add more modifiers to the thing (noun) we describe. For instance, in addition to the opinion adjectives, we can also inform the size, and the color, the age, and nationality of the thing (noun).



Observe the following examples. Pay attention to the order of the modifiers. Where is the position of the opinion adjectives?

example:

a beautiful old tree → opinion age nouna beautiful reddish leaf → opinion color noun a beautiful Indonesian island → opinion nationality noun

The following is the common word order of adjectives before a noun.

Opinion size Age color Nationality materials Nounimpressive large old purple Chinese ceramic vasebeautiful little young dark Indonesian - girl

However, it is very rare to find noun phrases with more than 3 modifiers like in the examples in the table above.

Now, read the phrases below. Identify the modifiers. See number 1 as an example.

1. large black stones → size color noun2. a shallow small lake → _____ _____ _____3. cold tiny droplets → _____ _____ _____4. sweet yellow corns → _____ _____ _____5. powerful small ants → _____ _____ _____6. beautiful white orchids → _____ _____ _____7. a unique golden monkey → _____ _____ _____8. favorite thick books → _____ _____ _____9. an enormous reddish snout → _____ _____ _____ 10. misty grey morning → _____ _____ _____11. a beautiful little young girl → _____ _____ _____ _____12. a nice old American woman → _____ _____ _____ _____13. breathtaking blue waves → _____ _____ _____ _____
